Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisThe results demonstrated that oral coenzyme Q10 elevated blood coenzyme Q10 concentration (standardized mean difference: 2.710, 95% confidence interval: 1.57-3.85, p < 0.00001) and reduced blood malondialdehyde concentration (standardized mean difference: -0.289, 95% confidence interval: -0.541 to -0.038, p = 0.024).1Zhang Y (2026)Effects of coenzyme Q10 analogs on oxidative stress, muscle, and metabolism after exercise: A meta-analysis and systematic review.
Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisAdditionally, oral coenzyme Q10 was found to reduce blood creatine kinase values (standardized mean difference: -1.532, 95% confidence interval: -2.856 to -0.209, p = 0.023), suggesting a potential protective effect on skeletal muscle.1Zhang Y (2026)Effects of coenzyme Q10 analogs on oxidative stress, muscle, and metabolism after exercise: A meta-analysis and systematic review.
Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisQuantitative and qualitative analyses were performed.ResultsThe study screened 14 randomized controlled trials that included a total of 433 subjects.1Zhang Y (2026)Effects of coenzyme Q10 analogs on oxidative stress, muscle, and metabolism after exercise: A meta-analysis and systematic review.
Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisNT-proBNP increased post-Ex1 (19.66%, p = 0.001), post-Ex2 (12.09%, p = 0.001) but decreased in 24 h-Ex1 (- 20.28%, p = 0.001), 24 h-Ex2 (-20.83%, p = 0.001) compared to post-Ex1&Ex2, respectively.2Rahimi MR (2025)Short-term CoQ10 supplementation reduces markers of cardiac stress in soccer players following heavy exercise: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisTime to fatigue (TTF) improved post-supplementation (- 0.5%, p = 0.002), whereas the placebo showed no change (- 0.08%, p = 0.793).2Rahimi MR (2025)Short-term CoQ10 supplementation reduces markers of cardiac stress in soccer players following heavy exercise: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisConclusions CoQ10 supplementation significantly reduced post-exercise cardiac stress markers (GDF-15, NT-proBNP, hs-TnT) and improved TTF in athletes.2Rahimi MR (2025)Short-term CoQ10 supplementation reduces markers of cardiac stress in soccer players following heavy exercise: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
Coq10 Exercise Recovery Meta-AnalysisBackground Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vital mitochondrial antioxidant, may enhance cardiovascular recovery and delay fatigue in athletes.2Rahimi MR (2025)Short-term CoQ10 supplementation reduces markers of cardiac stress in soccer players following heavy exercise: A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial.
